I got myself a steel version of it not the licensed one. Its a look thinner and doesn't have this bar on the middle of the blade like the licensed one so i preferred it. Mine is heavier than a real sword too but it must be lighter than this one, and after using it for light weight lifting it eventually got lighter ;p
I purchased this exact sword today, on offer up, no hanging plaque,, what was original cost & estimated cost today, any info appreciated. I see there hard to find now.
I almost bought this, but it's a good 10 cm shorter than the actual movie prop/Noble collection variant. Shame... I'm still looking for an accurate replica.
@@leviethen I have the noble collection one and that is super heavy! I am a huge achilles fan and I would not recommend getting the noble collection one, its very brittle, and the paint on the handle easily chips.
Well because it's painted on the blade I don't want to risk scratching it off and it's blunt so I can't exactly cut with it. As for the materials toughness well on the web site all it says is "high carbon steel" no specific grade or anything. I actually emailed them later on asking what the specific grade was and no reply. So odds are that it maybe high carbon steel but that definition is not specific so it could be any grade really.
I can but tbh this replica is heavier than it should be so it’s quite thick. The blade length is around 55cm. Including the handle a total length of 71cm. The wide base of the blade is 9cm. The part that curves inward is 4cm. Then widens to 6cm. Want any more?
Cool review! Thank you. How heavy is it? And by any chance, do you know what kind of steel is used to make it? Could have been written on the box, maybe?
I weighed it recently and it's 1.69kg which is pretty heavy for a one handed sword. And as for material all the website says is "high carbon steel" and I emailed them asking the details and no response. So odds are it's not particularly good.
Ben engledow Yeah I got one :) Really really cool :). The only thing is that the end of blade pierced through the protection and the 2 boxes so it domaged it barely but it's ok :P. And It has a spot with no paint like you. But still a godly product seriously, really worth it :P. As a fan of Achilles from the movie I can say that is really good product with a very good feeling in hand :)
TyphonLeTitan i thought it felt overly heavy lol and one thing i noticed since then is that looking down the blade on mine one edge is quite wavy, not strait. so you can definitely see it's hand made.
I want ti buy one so that i can call out all the Hectors out there.
That kind of sword called 'AOR' by ancient Greeks and the belt that was socket it 'AORTERA'
In the troy the sword used was a Xiphos.
Buenos subtitulos
@@LordPop-g1t Xiphos literally means "Blade"
I want one of these so bad. They're sold out at the moment ☹️

I'm sure the one used in the movie was made out of aluminium. Most movie swords are.

Been after this since i was a kid and couldnt afford it. Dream sword to have
007DeanBond yeah it's such a cool design, I've thought about one day having a bronze sword maker do a custom one of these
may I have it?

Honestly I don’t know but you were fortunate to find one
Good.. How much is it..
I bought mine on Ebay the year after Troy came out - $35. Can't find them anymore though...
Na they're really hard to find
Ben engledow I just think they had a large pile of them at one point post-film, now they are all dispersed and rare for market :(

I'd call that an overly stylized, but not totally stupid, bronze sword. I'd, in fact, use that to make a mold for casting.
I almost bought this, but it's a good 10 cm shorter than the actual movie prop/Noble collection variant.
Shame... I'm still looking for an accurate replica.
The weight is terrible tbh it's heavier than a longsword...

How much you want for it
you should do an in depth review about durability and all
Well because it's painted on the blade I don't want to risk scratching it off and it's blunt so I can't exactly cut with it. As for the materials toughness well on the web site all it says is "high carbon steel" no specific grade or anything. I actually emailed them later on asking what the specific grade was and no reply. So odds are that it maybe high carbon steel but that definition is not specific so it could be any grade really.
Ben engledow Yeah I've visited their website. I meant to see if it could be used as a reenactment blade.
I couldn't say to be honest, and as it's painted I personally wouldn't risk it. I wouldn't want to damage the finish as it's so gorgeous lol
Remember when I bought mines, it came from Greece (Hellenic Art) and Homeland Security called me to make sure the purchase was legit
Hey Ben. How much would you accept to part with this sword?
any chance you could post the measurements for everything? I'm trying to have one custom made

@@leviethen im not going to make it as thick but the reference is good. how long is the "cutting edge" and the like actual grip where your hand lays
deviss42 39cm and 16 cm
@@leviethen how much does it weigh
@@therealhokage7439 I think it’s like 1.7KG
Any chance you want to sell?
Thumbs up for painting
Dear Ben, Would you be interested in selling the sword for a very good price? Thank you
Cool review! Thank you.

There's a link in the description that takes you to the site it's from, it's got all the available info on there.

Where did you buy this
There’s a link in the description but I don’t think they sell it anymore. There’s one on Etsy though
Nice! great sword.
I had this but sold it. It weighs about 9lbs (4kg) it is impossible to swing. It is a very unrealistic weight.
What website link . I need this
The link is in the description, they may not even make it anymore though.
make another video showing it again
Slaiden Heller maybe I shall

No it's not. This is the best one I've seen yet and I've looked at and compared size, shape, and detail to many others that are far more expensive.
